City of Pequot Lakes December 15, 2010 ➢ Broad Range of Resources - Including Funding Assistance - That are Close and Cost-Effective � It is not only the knowledge and experience of Tim and Mike that you are acquiring in selecting WSN as your City Engineer. We have approximately 40 employees in our BrainerdBaxter office with a total of about 150 employees in our Greater Minnesota offices. They include architects, civil engineers, funding assistance experts, electrical and mechanical engineers, environmental professionals, information technology specialists, marketing personnel, surveyors, and technicians in all of these areas. We have people that are under 1/2 hour away that can provide their expertise — even with today's communication technology, there is no substitute far face-to-face assistance. ➢ Part of the Community — Keeping Your Tax Dollars Close To Home Our employees and their families live, work, go to school, recreate, and pay taxes in this County and in areas around the City. Any City tax dollars that are used for our services go right back into this area of the State. We participate in and donate to Chamber and area events. We give our time for Project Lead the Way and Bridges Academies and Workplace Connection for area Schools. Being a member of the communities we serve, we interact with people that will be using the projects we are working on - there is that little extra "ownership" and personal pride that go into your improvements. As in past years, when a specific project is defined, we will provide a proposal with our tasks and costs. In looking ahead, following are a few areas we can assist the City in 2011. We base this around the three legs of an inter-related and balanced City: Infrastructure, Planning & Zoning, and Financial: Capital Improvements Planning - Infrastructure We have worked with Staff and Council liaisons in looking out and planning improvements to its existing infrastructure. This measured and targeted approach has resulted in important updates to the City's roadway, storm drainage, water, and wastewater systems. Using this approach, these � improvements have been accomplished while working within the City's budget. Assistance with P&Z — Planning and Zoning The City has a strong P&Z, and we welcome the opportunity to participate and provide input. Infrastructure should and does inter-relate to P&Z. Looking for Funding Assistance - Financial Do nothing, initial, and longer-term costs need to be considered in any improvement. If the City so chooses to look into these various financial factors, we can provide that service. Also, we have in- house funding assistance expertise to round out funding for a variety of improvements. It has been a pleasure working with the City of Pequot Lakes. If you would like to meet with us to discuss our services, we are always available. We look forward to continuing our past working relationship and being of service to you in 2011.
